Skeletons
I see so many people with their closets stuffed full Full of so many skeletons And the shelves of their heart are stacked full of skulls Just staring Into the cold stone darkness The void of their eyes look to the void that's deprived Of happiness a life of lies Their hypocrisy astounding You can't have a house of cards made of glass at the same time so why try They'll both fall when the stones come And yet they still allow these skeletons to guard their soul Won't let anyone in cuz it's way to cold The issue with this is that every time that they try to escape their self made prison The skeleton sentries stuff them back inside Or at least for most There are some who can escape from themselves And unlock their door to that inner hell And the lives of those who ended well All have one thing in common See when the walls of your heart have been hardened You can become consumed by the darkness Trapped in the gaze of the skulls on the shelves The illusion of pride sneaks in Like what if I could solve this I don't need help I could do it alone Escape this cell and sit back on my throne Rule my thoughts And then maybe all my decisions won't seem so wrong and I could see how strong my own power is That I've gotten rid of these skeletons However When it's only you taking on an army of regret There is no hope for your freedom The only way to battle that battalion of thought Is to accept you are in need of aid Take your wounds and lay Them down Because when the doors holding your soul back release The sun can shine and cast out the dark And with that light comes inner peace So always Be Who You Are Peel back the walls that hide your scars And the skeletons will run for fear Your greatest weapon is a listening ear And a caring friend One with whom your friendship won't end Just because you've made mistakes See When confronted with sunlight The skeletons can't survive And the skulls lining your heart they'll seem to fly Away And leave you to a brighter day So don't be to proud to take responsibility You are in control of how you handle it all And yes you might just fall But if you do as God desires he'll pick you up and dust you off And you'll be Ok
